Abstract

Hypersensitivity of cells lacking Brcal to DNA interstrand .ross-link (ICL) agents such as cisplatin and mitomycin C(MMC) implicates the important role of Brcal in cellular response following ICL treatment. Brca1 plays an essential role in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair through homologous recombination (HR)-dependent and -independent process. Recently, our group has been reported that Brca1 involves in cellular ICL response through HR-dependent repair process (Yun J. et at., Oncogene 2005). In this report, the involvement of Brca1 protein in HR-independent repair process is examined using isogenic $p53^{-/-}\;and\;p53^{-/-}\;Brcal^{-/-}$ mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) and psoralen cross-linked reporter reactivation assay. Brcal-deficient MEFs showed significantly low HR-independent repair activity compare to Brca1-proficient MEFs. Hypersensitivity to MMC and ICL reporter repair activity were restored by the reconstitution of Brca1 expression. Interestingly, MEFs expressing exon 11-deleted isoform of Brca1 $(Brca1^{\Delta11/\Delta11})$ showed high resistance to MMC and ICL reporter repair activity comparable to Brca1-reconstituted MEFs. Taken together, these results suggest that Brca1 involves in ICL repair through not only HR-dependent process but also HR-independent process using N-terminal RINC finger domain or C-terminal BRCT domain rather than exon 11 region which mediate interaction with Rad50.

시스플래틴이나 마이토마이신 C (MMC)와 같은 DNA 사슬간 교차결합 (interstrand cross-link ; ICL) 물질에 대해 Brca1 결손세포들이 보이는 높은 감수성은 Brca1 단백질이 세포의 ICL복구반응에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있음을 암시하고 있다. Brca1 단백질은 재조합 의존성 또는 재조합 비의존성 경로를 통한 DNA 이중사슬 절단(double-strand break ; DSB) 복구에 필수적인 역할을 담당한다. 최근 본인이 속한 연구그룹에서 재조합 의존성 경로를 통한 세포의 ICL복구반응에 Brca1이 관여한다는 것을 밝혀 보고한바 있다. 본 연구에서는 Brca1 단백질의 재조합 비의존성 복구반응에 대한 관여여부를 $p53^{-/-}$와 $p53^{-/-}\;Brcal^{-/-}$ 세포주를 사용하여 연구하였다. 교차결합 복구 실험에서 Brca1 결손 세포주는 Brca1 정상 세포주보다 현저히 낮은 활성을 보였다. 또한, Brca1 결손세포 주의 MMC 에 대한 감수성과 ICL복구능이 Brca1 단백질 발현을 통해 회복되는 것을 확인하였다. 흥미롭게도, Brca1의 11번 엑손 결손세포주 $(Brca1^{\Delta11})$는 높은 MMC저항성과 ICL 복구능을 보였다. 이러한 결과들을 종합하여 볼 때, Brca1 단백질은 ICL복구에 재조합 의존성 경로뿐만 아니라 재조합 비의존성 경로를 통해서도 관여하며, 이러한 활성에는 엑손 11 부분이 아닌 N 말단의 RING 핑거 도메인이나 C 말단의 BRCT도메인이 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.
